Banner MULTI-BEAM

sensors are compact modular self con-
tained photoelectric switches. Each MULTI-BEAM consists of
three components: scanner block, power block, and logic module.
The scanner block contains the complete modulated photoelectric
amplifier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements. It also
contains the sensing optics and the housing for the other two
modules. The power block provides the interface between the
scanner block and the external circuit. It contains a power supply
for the MULTI-BEAM plus a switching device to interface the
circuit to be controlled. The logic module interconnects the power
block and scanner block both electrically and mechanically. It
provides the desired timing logic function (if any), plus the ability
to program the output for either light- or dark-operate. The
emitters of MULTI-BEAM emitter-receiver pairs do not require
a logic module. Emitter scanner blocks are supplied with a blade-
pin to interconnect the scanner block and power block. This
modular design, with field-replaceable power block and logic
module, permits over 5,000 sensor configurations, resulting in
exactly the right sensor for any photoelectric application.
There are two families of MULTI-BEAM sensors: 3- and 4-wire,
and 2-wire. Three- and four-wire MULTI-BEAMs offer the
greatest selection of sensor configurations. They permit either ac
or dc operation and offer the fastest response times and the
greatest sensing ranges. Two-wire MULTI-BEAMs are used in
ac-powered applications where simplicity and convenience of
wiring are important. They are physically and electrically inter-
changeable with heavy-duty limit switches.
The circuitry of all MULTI-BEAM components is encapsulated
within rugged, corrosion-resistant VALOX
®
housings, which
meet or exceed NEMA 1, 3, 12, and 13 ratings. Most MULTI-
BEAM scanner blocks include Banner's patented Alignment
Indicating Device (AID™) which lights a top-mounted LED
when the sensor sees its own modulated light source and pulses
the LED at a rate proportional to the received light signal. Most
MULTI-BEAM sensor assemblies are UL listed and certified by
CSA (see power block listings). All MULTI-BEAM components
(except power block models 2PBR and 2PBR2) are totally solid-
state for unlimited life.

MULTI-BEAM sensors are made up of three components: scanner
block, power block, and logic module. This is true for all MULTI-
BEAMs with the exception of opposed mode emitter units which
require only a power block (no logic module).
The first decision in the component selection process is to determine
which family of MULTI-BEAM sensors is appropriate for the applica-
tion: 3- and 4-wire, or 2-wire.
Next, decide which scanner block (within the selected family) is best for
the application. The guidelines in the catalog introduction will help you
to determine the best sensing mode. Then narrow the choice by
comparing the specifications listed in the following charts and on the
pages referenced in the charts.
Finally, choose a power block and logic module to complete the
MULTI-BEAM assembly. Components snap together without inter-
wiring to form a complete photoelectric sensing system that meets your
exact requirements while maintaining the simplicity of a self-contained
sensor.
If you have any questions about selecting MULTI-BEAM components,
please contact your Banner sales engineer or call Banner's Applications
Department at (612) 544-3164 during normal business hours.

DESCRIPTION
MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire scanner blocks offer a complete comple-
ment of sensing modes. There are 3 or more models for each sensing
mode, resulting in a choice of exactly the right sensor for any applica-
tion. The high power models (10 millisecond response time) offer
greater optical sensing power than any other industrial sensors.
SPECIFICATIONS
SUPPLY VOLTAGE: input power and output connections are made
via a 3- or 4-wire power block (see pages 15 to 20).
RESPONSE TIME: 1 millisecond ON and OFF, except high gain
models with "X" suffix and ambient light receivers which are 10
milliseconds ON and OFF.
REPEATABILITY OF RESPONSE: see individual sensor specs.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT: easily accessible, located on top of
scanner block beneath o-ring gasketed screw cover. 15-turn clutched
control (rotate clockwise to increase gain).
ALIGNMENT INDICATOR: red LED on top of scanner block.
Banner's exclusive, patented Alignment Indicating Device (AID™)
circuit lights the LED whenever the sensor detects its own modulated
light source, and pulses the LED at a rate proportional to the received
light level.

Beam Pattern
RETROREFLECTIVE
Mode
SBLV1: visible beam makes alignment very easy, and is the first choice for most retroreflective applications.
Not for use in dirty environments; rather use opposed mode or see SBL1 & SBLX1, below. Do not locate
retroreflector closer than 6 inches (15cm) from sensor.
SBLVAG1: uses anti-glare filter for immunity to direct reflections from shiny objects. Use only with models
BRT-3 or BRT-1.5 retroreflective targets. Use only in clean environments. Do not locate retroreflector closer
than 12 inches (30cm) from sensor.
SBL1: use where invisible beam is advantageous (e.g. security applications or film processing). First choice for
retroreflective sensing in slightly or moderately dirty environments. Do not use when the object to break the
beam has a shiny surface, unless the angle of light to the surface can be predicted.
SBLX1: highest gain available in a retroreflective sensor. Use for all applications requiring more than 30-foot
range where opposed mode sensors cannot be used. Objects must pass at a distance of at least 10 feet from the
sensor to be reliably sensed.
NOTE: for detailed information on
available retroreflective materials, see
the Banner product catalog.

Beam: infrared, 880nm
APPLICATION NOTE: as a general rule
regarding background objects in diffuse sens-
ing, verify that the distance to the nearest
background object is at least three times the
distance from the sensor to the object to be
sensed. For example, if a product passes one
inch from an SBD1 sensor, the nearest back-
ground object should be at least three inches
further away.
SBDX1: first choice for diffuse (proximity) mode applications when there is no requirement for less than 10 ms
response and where there are no background objects to falsely return light. High excess gain for reliable detection
of most materials with low reflectivity which pass within 10 inches (25cm) of the sensor.
SBDX1MD: wide beam angle for forgiving alignment to reflective objects. First choice for detection of clear or
translucent glass or plastics. High excess gain at close range, with fast fall-off of gain near the maximum sensing
distance for optical suppression of reflective background. This model may be created from model SBDX1 by
substituting upper cover (lens) model UC-DMB.

SBD1: short range diffuse mode sensor with relatively wide field of view. Loses gain rapidly near the end of its
range. As a result, its response to background objects is suppressed. However, use caution when applying any
diffuse mode sensor if background reflectivity exceeds the reflectivity of the object to be sensed.
SBDL1: longer range than SBD1, but with less response to objects passing the sensor at close range, and greater
sensitivity to background objects. Models SBD1 and SBDL1 are identical except for their upper cover (lens)
assembly (SBD1 uses UC-D; SBDL1 uses UC-L; see Upper Cover Chart in the Banner product catalog).

SBC1-4
Focus at: 4 inches (10cm)
SBCV1: .06-inch (1.5mm) dia. visible red spot, for precise positioning, edge-guiding, & small parts detection.
Sensor-to-product distance must be consistent. Some products ≥1" tall may be sensed against immediate
background like parts on a conveyor. Excellent for high-contrast registration-sensing applications (except red-on-
white). Use with LM6-1 logic module for speed detection sensing gear teeth, pulley hubs, or chain links.
SBCVG1: .12-inch (3mm) diameter visible green spot. Use to detect color differences (e.g. color registration
marks), including red-on-white combinations. For subtle shade variations, use model FO2BG (see Banner product
catalog).
SBC1, SBC1-4, SBC1-6: infrared LED light source provides higher gain for reliable sensing of products of low
reflectivity, while controlling sensing depth of field. Does not offer the same precision possible with visible light
models. Good for sensing clear materials within the sensor's depth of field. Good for reliably counting the flow
of radiused products which are kept at a fixed distance from the sensor (e.g. bottles against conveyor guide rail).
SBCX1, SBCX1-4, SBCX1-6: these models offer the greatest optical gain available in any reflective mode sensor.
They reliably detect most non-reflective black materials in applications where opposed mode sensing is not
possible (e.g. web break monitoring). Not meant for ignoring background objects (see excess gain charts).
